Traditional 18-Year Balsamic

Product Description

Our finest grade of aged balsamic condimento from Modena, Italy is produced in the Traditional Style. It begins with Grape Must from Trebbiano and Lambrusco grapes which is reduced as much as 90% and caramelized in copper kettles over an open wood fire. Then, a small amount of red wine vinegar is added to start the fermentation process. This 95+% grape must/>5% vinegar raw product is then aged using the Solera System for up to 18 years in charred chestnut, oak, mulberry and ash barrels.

With about a 4% acidity, our Four Leaf Quality Equivalent Condimento is exceedingly rich, complex, and sweet. It is PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) certified to come from Modena, Italy.

It pairs beautifully with any olive oil in our collection for vinaigrettes, glazes or marinades. Try drizzled over ice cream, fresh fruits and berries, vegetables, bruschetta or caprese salad.
